Well, considering what the root problem is, I wouldn't expect MS's rebase
to work any better than the cygwin version.  However, I would like to see
some cooperation on how to resolve it.  This problem is not specific to
zsh.  It has more to do with how exported symbols are treated/managed.
I'd almost propose that rebase change such symbols' value, being rebase
is the one changing the image base of the dll in the first place.
However, I would really like to understand why this symbol exists and if
there is some way to eliminate it and use the dll's real image base
instead.
